| Vayeira: The Relevance of Revelation |
# KI 004 B |
| by
Kahn, Rabbi Ari |
|
| During G-d's visit to Abraham, he excuses himself to help three wayfarers. Was this the right thing to do? In contrast, Lot offers his daughters to his aggressive neighbors to save his guests. Was that proper? The Torah is full of moral quandaries - and so is life. What system prevails to help us determine which direction to take? |

| Isaac did not take after his father and was considered to be more like his mother. But when it came time to find a wife, he marries a woman who is more like his father Abraham.

# KI 007 A |
| by
Kahn, Rabbi Ari |
|
| Jacob views himself as the head of a family. His sons perceive themselves as a nation. This self-perception can explain all the conflicts between them. Jacob's ladder and the secret of the blue fringes teach us the purpose of life. Rabbi Kahn brilliantly interweaves the workings of logic vs. destiny into this powerful class. |

# KI 013 A |
| by
Kahn, Rabbi Ari |
|
| Do you ever see women performing a circumcision? God was 'enraged' that the son of Moses was not circumcised until Moses' wife heroically performed the operation herself. Why was Moses negligent in this critical paternal responsibility? Rabbi Kahn cuts through this near-fatal mistake with a novel approach, and exposes the scarcely known background of the life of Jesus. |

How is this event a re-enactment of the Garden of Eden, and what does this event come to add? Also hear metaphysical meanings behind the various names of G-d. |

|
| The Jews left Egypt high and happy. Can you imagine their wonder as the Sea of Reeds split before their eyes and crashed down behind them to wipe out their oppressors? However, shortly afterwards all they had were complaints. Rabbi Kahn demonstrates how the Master Educator - God, listens super closely to the nature of our protests, and responds in kind for what we indeed truly need. |

| Terumah: The Dance of Love |
# KI 019 A |
| by
Kahn, Rabbi Ari |
|
| On Yom Kippur and the 15th of Av, Jewish girls used to dance in the vineyards in an attempt to attract young men to marry them. What a bizarre practice for Jews, who hold modesty is sacred, and that the attracting movements of dance arouse man's baser instinct. Rabbi Kahn connects this practice to the Tabernacle and shows how this ceremony is a living manifestation of the Revelation of Sinai. |

|
| Did you ever complete a major undertaking, and exalt in your accomplishment? When Moses completed the construction of the Tabernacle, he was given the ultimate accolade in front of everyone - the "glory of God" descend onto the Tabernacle. Interestingly enough, the same phenomenon occurred after the construction of the first Temple, but in the Second Temple it failed to happen. Why not? |

As a seeming consolation prize, God gives him the job to light the menorah. This talk paves the way for the Chanukah miracles and the struggle between Aaron's descendants and the Greek Hellenists. |

| Pesach Haggadah: Tasting Redemption |
# KI 520 A |
| by
Kahn, Rabbi Ari |
|
| Is there one central Jewish belief that can be pinpointed to have caused the mass redemption from Egyptian slavery? The answer lies somewhere between our psychological bondage and our physical enslavement. As you bite into your matzah, taste the deeper freedom your forefathers experienced on one very fateful spring night a few thousand years ago. |

| Purging Egyptian Culture With the 10 Plagues |
# KI 520 F |
| by
Kahn, Rabbi Ari |
|
| To understand what the plagues themselves were all about, it is valuable to hear an overview of ancient Egyptian culture. One of the plagues caused a systematic erosion of their mythology. Others tore down major tenets. Rabbi Kahn goes through the crescendo of plagues culminating in the killing of the first born - and all their idolatrous beliefs. |

| The Many Facets of Matza |
# KI 522 |
| by
Kahn, Rabbi Ari |
|
| If you thought matzah was just a flat, dried out, bumpy, boring piece of bread - think again. Rabbi Ari Kahn takes you down 'Matzah Lane' to show you some of its many hidden wonders - between the holes. The first mention of matzah in the Bible defines its essence, and from there the lessons and wisdom begin to rise from this tasteless, but nourishing symbol of the Jewish People's exodus from Egypt. |

| The Strange Customs of Seder Night |
# KI 525 |

|
| Why do we invite 'those who are hungry to come and eat' - in the middle of the seder? Why do we wash our hands during the seder - without reciting the customary blessing? And how can we be commanded to feel as though we personally left Egypt in a comfortable home instead of marching into the desert? Join Rabbi Kahn for answers to these and many other questions about the strange and unusual nature of the Seder night. A light and humorous talk with a lot of ideas for keeping the 'kids' awake and involved. |

|
| The sacrifice of Isaac is one of the most perplexing incidents in the Bible. Why did God ask Abraham to offer his son? Why didn't he hesitate or argue? Why did Isaac, a 37-year-old man, allow himself to be bound on the altar in the first place? Why, if this is Abraham's test, is it called by Isaac's name? And what does this event have to do with Rosh Hashanah? Hearing the answers to these questions will give you a special appreciation for the players as well as that significant point in time.

Furthermore, the Talmud tells us she was a victim of rape, and although she had no religious imperative to put herself in mortal danger or give up her chaste status, what drove her to give up her most treasured possessions? |

Rabbi Kahn traces the steps of mankind's decline from Adam and Eve until the times of Noah and Abraham, and explains what our potential is to put ourselves and the entire world back on its feet. |

| Why Do Innocent People Suffer? |

It doesn't require being a Torah scholar or a great leap of faith to understand the workings of Divine Providence. It takes a decision to change the way you perceive events. Hear more about it. |

| Why Bad Things Happen to Good People |
# KI 912 |
| by
Kahn, Rabbi Ari |
|
| Is it ever possible to find justification for why bad things happen to good people? To press the question a bit further, how bad does something have to be before it is considered 'bad'? If God is completely good, and everything that happens to us is ultimately for our good, shouldn't we equally thank Him for the Holocaust? Rabbi Kahn peels several layers off this very charged issue and shows we can add some meaning to our trials to soften the suffering that God deems appropriate. |

# KI 937 C |
| by
Kahn, Rabbi Ari |
|
| What does it take to get up from a fall? From years of bad memories, we usually dread even thinking about it. However, God took this into account by creating the antidote of 'teshuva' even before the world's creation was completed. From an amazing Talmudic story about Rabbi Elazar ben Dudai's encounter with a woman of ill repute, Rabbi Kahn shows how his subsequent repentance made him the classic example of a human being's ability to do all-encompassing teshuva - on the spot. |

As the New Year looms on the horizon, Rabbi Kahn looks at Maimonides formula for clearing the slate.

Does the same also hold true for an individual who has more positive deeds and is considered righteous, or vise versa?
